Greetings,

finally had a look how this is working and is having issues on my side,
and thats probably because this feature is directly using the host-config file as input, what does not exist in my environment.
On my environment I only use the output of ansible-inventory, the input for that is coming from a python script what is configured like so:

[inventory]
enable_plugins=script
ignore_extensions={{ ('.txt', '.ini', '.cfg', '.j2', '.yml' ) }}

[defaults]
inventory=/etc/ansible/extras/hosts/

the mentioned python script is reading the host list from a separate postgres DB what gets processed by ansible-inventory.
I have chosen to do this back at the time when I started using ansible, cause there are also playbooks for adding/ removing hosts dynamically, and so no manual interaction in the container is necessary.

ansible-inventory --list creates a nice json output what e.g. I used as input for what I mentioned in #29

I would be a nicer way because then it does not matter where the host list comes from, ansible-inventory is always processing it.

kthx

Thank you for the feedback 👍
